Lott: Election Show America Want Change

Lott: Election Show America Want Change: "I made no secret of the fact that I’m staying in the Senate because of Hurricane Katrina and the many challenges Mississippians face as we rebuild following this benchmark storm. This ought to be an issue which all of Congress, like Mississippi’s own delegation, can find ample bipartisan foundation on which to build.

Proposals to extend the GO Zone tax incentives, designed to encourage economic revitalization and job growth throughout the hurricane-stricken region, should be widely supported. The badly needed efforts to reform the way the insurance industry is taxed and regulated is worthy of bipartisan backing. This is paramount to thousands of hurricane victims who have been snubbed by their insurance companies and are left paying mortgages on slabs more than 14 agonizing months since Katrina."
